Analist? Now that's just a bit harsh.

I may be missing something (don't see what, though - didn't want to sound harsh by any means ?)

Hahaha
1. Thanks Rich!
2. Analyst is the correct spelling. Analist suggests something more to do with bottoms! :D
3. Well probably Mr Consultant if you must, but it's a contract role so probably more derogatory terms! :)

Do Americans have the same ... "subtlelties" ? No idea miswriting an "i" for a "y" could have such a different meaning ...

Now who claims Dutch is a difficult language, huh ?  :o

Does this mean you're self-employed as from now, Matt ? Or are you in a contract role as an employee ?

Yup, same for American English. You'll get no disagreement from me that English is a bit mental though! Having friends for whom English is a 2nd language, one starts to appreciate its idiosyncrasies! And cuss them.

I like Dutch! I found it made more sense during my couple weeks wanderings than French which I've in theory been taught most of my school life.

I'm aiming to stick to contracting for now, and avoid being an employee again. But who knows what will happen next. Unlimited possibilities!

Whew. Finally my brain found a good example:

Dye. "I wish you would dye!" said my wife, and so I finally dyed my jeans back to a nice dark blue. The women at the WI were most relieved.

Die. "I wish you would die!" said my wife, and so i left her as it was clearly an abusive relationship. The women at the WI don't believe me.

but from the start, I was worried that mid week would be a challenge with work, and so it has proven

That's why it is called 'The Wrinklies' Jase, to keep you whipper-snappers out...

We had lots of talk about 'why is it a weekday thing' back in the day. Being based on less popular roads, the theory was that it would avoid the weekend warriors and the Sunday drivers

Or course, nothing stopping folks from organising a weekend 'do' and posting it up in the 'EuroKClub Events' or the 'Short Notice Ride Outs' sections.

Attendees, please read your 'logistics' email.

If you haven't received it please let me know (having first checked the Spam folder, which is where most my missives disappear into, and rightly so).

Thanks...

Rich, the Wednesday lunch stop seems to be the fly in the ointment here. I might get a packed lunch either something from the garage or get the B&B to prepare one. That takes out all the unknowns.
The Starbucks menu is not to everyone's liking and a group of * turning up might be problematic unless previously booked.
Dolgellau has pretty narrow streets and parking is limited, so for me at least it's a packed lunch I think.
